Y'all, I just can't even describe how much I loved Goblet of Fire. This book moved me in so many ways. I knew that somehow Harry's name would come flying out of the Goblet of Fire, but so much of it just blew me away. Before I go any further, I have to say I was not a fan of the movie...at all. … [Read more...]

Holy crap it's almost 2016! As I get older, and especially since I became a mom, time honestly just flies by. 2015 has been an amazing year full of some cool milestones like turning 30, becoming a nurse, and watching Star Wars for the first time ever (say what?!?).

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets + Homemade Strawberry and Peanut Butter Ice Cream Sandwiches
I just finished Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets...and loved it! First off, I loved getting to meet Dobby. I always loved his character in the movies and was excited to meet him in the book.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone + Savory Pumpkin Pasties
As much as I tried to read slowly, I flew right through Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. It was just so light and so good that I couldn't stop.

First Day at Hogwarts and Sorting Hat Cookies
Y'all, today is the day. Not just any day, but THE day... the day I begin reading the Harry Pottery series. This day has been a long time coming. I've wanted to read the books since I saw the first movie, but for some reason I never did. I think the end of high school + college + beginnings of life … [Read more...]
